Did the English makers use a standard thread pitch for hammergun nipples? If not, what were some of the pitches in use for the part around the 1860-1880? Thank you.

Bill,
mc started his answer with BS,,,? I think he is referring to "British Standard" thread form, which is rounded as he described. You may be able to find taps and dies at your local hobby shop.

An interesting topic ( I was going to say thread, but that could have caused confusion?).
Many gunmakers used what was readily available at the time, which could be BA or BC .
BC is British Cycle thread which was used extensively , especially by Birmingham gunmakers.
